"Good to see you back. What makes you think there will be a break?"

Nothing specific, just following the case on other boards and have found some very interesting analysis of the case.

I still think the family knows a lot more than they are letting on and it is beginning to catch up with them.

There must be some reason for this mysterious roofer connection to be coming to light after all this time. This is just another one of Ed's itinerant workers he had working around his family. Hard to believe anyone that hired as many homeless and itinerant workers as Ed did would be so careless about setting the alarm, especially after being robbed only a few months before Elizabeth's disappearance.

What other boards are you reading?

With Ricci dead, it seems Ed needs to concoct another suspect in order to get media attention and/or to keep hard questions from being put to him.

A comment from my better half tonight regarding SLCPD, and law enforcement in general. "They are all skittish since the JonBenet Ramsey fiasco, afraid of criticism of their investigative skills."

I'm wondering when we're going to hear about the roofer too. I know Ed Smart said that he would give more details regarding this after the holidays -- and wonder if something will be said about the roofer on the 48 Hours special on 1/10/03. Though the SLC Tribune article said the 48 Hour special centers around Elizabeth's siblings and was taped back in November -- it also said that there would be new information. Questions for the children were submitted beforehand and approved by the Smarts. It seems very, very doubtful than any new information would come from questions asked of the children, but I wonder (and I guess I'm hoping!) that the special might also include some footage taped at a later date with Ed and Lois Smart regarding the roofer. Perhaps this is what Ed meant when he said there would be more infomration after the holidays?
I'm beginning to think there's not much to it, but I'd still like some clarification!
